Looking for members!
As you may or may not know, I’m just a single person running the blog for fun, but I noticed that sometimes days pass until I have enough time to fill up this blogs queue and I don’t think that’s fair to the followers. I’m also pretty behind on requests and asks. So I thought it’s the best choice to ask for some help!
What I’m looking for (not everything needs to apply to you!):
- General DreamWorks Animation Fans (Obviously!) -> I will also accept people who are fans of specific unpopular DWA movies, but not people are are only into HTTYD as example.
- Content creators -> Looking for concept art/triva/background information and posting them (with screenshots or not) counts!
- Active People
- People looking for content of all movies in tags regularly! -> this means this isn’t supposed to be a blog for the “#dreamworksedit” tag.
- Informed People (for posting news!)
- People who are skilled in HTML and Theme stuff because I’m really not, haha.
- Nice people. :>
As for right now, I’m going to hire maybe 2 or 3 because I doubt many people are interested. Just send me your E-Mail via Ask (not anonymously obviously) or Fan-Mail.
I WILL judge you by the quality of your blog (Funny posts, text posts etc excluded), since I do want this blog to keep up a certain aesthetic level.
- I do not like super grainy, low quality content or gifs with a huge url of the creator on them. Whitewashing is also not okay. I’m personally also not into the only greyish-gifs movement.
- I’m also looking for variety of content, so not only gifsets.
- Tagging! Keepin’ this blog tidy. If you are already used to it on your regular blog, I’m sure you’ll be able to do it here as well.
That’s all! I’d love to see people care enough to join at all though. Don’t be afraid you might can’t be active enough or that your blog isn’t ‘good enough’, (it probably is!) help is help!

This is not the end of DreamWorks Animation
Today is a huge loss for all the talented artists and hard working staff members of PDI DreamWorks. I'm sorry for the all these innocent people that had to suffer through bad executive producing, they are not at fault yet they are the loser of this situation. But, this is not the end of DreamWorks Animation. Here are some updates:
It’s also cutting back its feature film output from three to two movies a year, with plans to release a sequel and an original title in 2016, 2017 and 2018.
As part of the company re-organization, DreamWorks Animation marketing head Dawn Taubin and chief operating officer Mark Zoradi are departing, while Lew Coleman is retiring as vice chairman.
The company will focus on six specific movies for the next three years: “Kung Fu Panda 3″ (March 18, 2016), “Trolls” (Nov. 4, 2016), “Boss Baby” (Jan. 13, 2017), “The Croods 2″ (Dec. 22, 2017), “Larrikins” (Feb. 16, 2018) and “How to Train Your Dragon 3″ (June 29, 2018).
“B.O.O.: Bureau of Otherworldly Operations” has been put back into development.
Budgets on its films will be reduced to $120 million, starting with “Trolls,” out in 2017. Its northern California studio, PDI, also will be shuttered, with staff there offered the chance to move to DWA’s headquarters in Glendale, Calif. PDI had produced the “How to Train Your Dragon” films.
DWA also said “Captain Underpants” will be produced outside of the studio’s pipeline “at a significantly lower cost” with a 2017 release. The company’s only 2015 release is “Home,” which will open domestically on March 27.
Both “Kung Fu Panda 3″ and “B.O.O.: Bureau of Otherworldly Operations” were moved out of 2015, with the latter not yet landing on a new release date.
Now onto some more positive aspects:
DWA chief Jeffrey Katzenberg said he will take a more hands-on role in how the studio’s films are developed and produced.
“My time and my focus needs to be on making blockbuster films,” Katzenberg said during a call with analysts after announcing the re-org. “We have the people to do it. That’s where my energy is going to be focused.
“Feature animation is the core of our company. Getting our feature film business back on track is our number one priority.”
Katzenberg said that making three films per year was “too ambitious. I want us to get back to making two great blockbuster films a year. We want to get back to basics here.”
Zoradi had joined DWA just seven months ago. “Given that we’re narrowing the focus of the company over the next two to three years, we’ve tried to bring our executive suite in line with a more focused agenda for the company,” Katzenberg said during the call with analysts, adding that Zoradi had volunteered to leave the company, given its new strategy.
“I think we were top heavy and given that we are right sizing the entire operation and focusing the company on the businesses we are in today, rather than businesses we imagined we might be in, this is the right sizing that we need,” Katzenberg said.
The studio enjoyed a now-brief morale boost when “How to Train Your Dragon 2″ was nominated for an Oscar in the best animation picture race, just after winning the Golden Globe in the same category.
DWA made the announcement of the re-org after the stock market closed. Wall Street reacted fairly to the news, with the company’s stock rising more than 3% in after-hours trading.
DreamWorks needed to organize themselves again and this is what they are doing right now. While this is a terrible loss, it could have been worse. They are trying to get back on track with a strong executive producing team behind feature films to make them worth while again. There were rumors about Katzenberg wanting to close the studio down entirely except for instant shows and the YouTube channel. So while this might seem like the worst case scenario: It is probably the only move they are able to do right now to keep the studio alive. (This whole producers making 33 Mio while animators get nothing is another story I won't touch upon)
Let's not forget that Katzenberg is a very strong producer and one of the driving forces behind the Disney Renaissance back in the days. All we can do right now is hope that this plan will work out and financially support the company by going to see HOME on March 27.
#dreamworks animation#dreamworks#author post#news#excuse my terrible english#im still super unsure about the budget cut#i don't think that's a smart move#dreamworks' gorgeous animation and best render in the industry are a huge draw for people to see their movies regardless of film quality#and even 'simpler' movies (stylistically speaking) like MPAS have a higher budget than 120 mio..
BREAKING! DreamWorks just announced to it staff that it will shut down one of its main studios, PDI DreamWorks, in Redwood City, California. The closing of that studio will begin immediately. The beleaguered animation studio also announced that 500 jobs will be eliminated, far more than thepreviously expected number of layoffs. The studio is cutting back its films to two per year: one original film and one sequel.

Kung Fu Panda 3 Release Date Pushed to 2016
"DreamWorks Animation has pushed back the release of Kung Fu Panda 3 to March 18, 2016, vacating the Christmas slot that would have had it open five days after Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
This is the second 2015 release bump for DreamWorks Animation, which has pulled its summer release B.O.O.: Bureau of Otherworldly Operationsfrom its planned June 5 slot. No new date for that movie has been confirmed.
This leaves the studio with Home, out March 27, as the studio’s lone feature release for 2015."

DreamWorks Delays ‘Bureau Of Otherworldly Operations’
DreamWorks has removed the upcoming feature, B.O.O.: Bureau Of Otherworldly Operations, from its scheduled June 5, 2015 release date.
The studio doesn’t currently have a new release date for the supernatural action comedy, but could release it as early as fall of 2015 or spring 2016. DreamWorks will release two other animated features next year: Home on March 27 and Kung Fu Panda 3 on December 23.
According to LA Times, which first reported the story, it’s unclear why DreamWorks is pushing back the film. Some sources at the studio claim that DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg was “unhappy with the progress of the film,” while others say that its June slot was too competitive, especially since Pixar will release Inside Out that same month.
A DreamWorks spokesperson told the Times, “Animated features are our most valuable asset and we regularly evaluate how to maximize their value, including determining the most opportune time to release a film.”

Dear Dreamworks, as a child I watched your movie Spirit more times than I could count, i knew every word, every song and every last scene perfectly. Now years later as a young adult I find myself with a beautiful dun horse named Domingo who's pasture mate was a brown and white paint mare... later I realized what had attracted me to this horse, he that he was my childhood dream horse in the flesh. Spirit inspired me to spend my life with horses and now I teach children to ride. Thanks guys! C:

(The opening scene - nicknamed the Homeland Pan by the filmmakers - took over nine months to design. It had a total of 700 background elements and averaged 30 layers of artwork for each frame.)
"The story that I want to tell you cannot be found in a book. They say that the history of the west was written from the saddle of a horse, but it's never been told from the heart of one. Not till now. I was born here, in this place that would come to be called the Old West. But, to my kind, the land was ageless. It had no beginning and no end, no boundary between earth and sky. Like the wind and the buffalo, we belonged here, we would always belong here. They say the mustang is the spirit of the West. Whether that west was won or lost in the end, you'll have to decide for yourself, but the story I want to tell you is true. I was there and I remember. I remember the sun, the sky, and the wind calling my name in a time when wild horses ran free."
DreamWorks Meme: [1/2] Opening Sequences: Kung Fu Panda 2
"Long ago, in ancient China, the peacocks ruled over Gongmeng City. They brought great joy and prosperity to the city, for they had invented the fireworks. But their son, Lord Shen, saw a darker power in the fireworks. What had brought color and joy, could also bring darkness and destruction. Shen's troubled parents consulted a soothsayer, she foretold that if Shen continued down this dark path, he would be defeated by a warrior of black and white. The young lord set out to change his fate, but what he did next only sealed it.
Shen returned to his parents full of pride. But in their faces he saw only horror. He was banished from the city forever, but Shen swore revenge. Someday he would return and all of China would bow at his feet."
